Damn, $530 of orange plastic crack!

As a G1 fan and collector there are 3 very expensive and very orange must haves coming out (1 already out) within just a few months of eachother and there is no way I can afford all of'em! Decisions, decisions! As of right now Im gettin Predaking, but that could change anytime as this is a hard decision for me. Anyone else in this boat?

And just incase you havent put it together the figs im talking about are reissue Predaking, Masterpiece Rodimus, and G1 deco Unicron.

I also want to add that I dont mean to come off as an ungreatful brat, I do very much appreciate the fact that I have the means to get atleast one of these grails!

I know what you mean. I was planning on getting all three but now I'm not sure. I got Unicron, and plan on getting MP Rodimus, I'm not sure about Predaking now. I already have the G1 original so another one is overkill. Although that new paint app looks great..

Once I read the topic's title I picture Predaking right away..... Im in the same situation, but being the Rodimus fan I am, I need to get the Takara one. Although I already have the Armada cron, the G1 deco is superb and I just cant let the King go.....

Meh, I've already paid for Unicron and Takara MP Rodimus, and Predaking doesn't interest me so much (especially for the price). I was lucky enough to be able to spread my purchases around although I do agree that there has been a LOT of very cool stuff coming through this year and it can be hella tough trying to find the funds for all of them before they sell out.

The way I look at it is this: spend a lot now when they are released, or spend a fortune in a years time when they are sold out and you are forced to trawling through the secondary market. It might hurt in the short term, but you'll realise what a sensible decision you made in the long term.

Out of the 3, I would have to go for Predaking, as I don't own one. My armada Unicron has been my Unicron for a few years now. I really don't need another one. As for MP Roddy....I may wait for Hasbro or, I may skip it all together. I don't really collect the MP line.

For me, MP Roddy is a must have. I can skip Predaking for now because I already got the G1 even though the new gold paint looks nice. I have the black Energon Unicron so I may not buy the new one as well.

yeah, it seems like you have to either rob liquor stores or be into massive Ponzi schemes to afford the deluge of Plastic Crack we're getting.

the Roddy issue has me by the proverbial jewels because it's pointless to get the Hasbro version (no trailer...really?) so i am gonna have to spend enough cabbage to make cole slaw on him early next year *ouch*

it wouldn't be so bad if i could find a criminal enterprise that didn't have victims, guilt or a lengthy stay with Mamma Hurt at Pelican Bay...then i could buy it all, lol.

there is that whole honest, rewarding "gainful employment" idea, but who wants to do that? lol.
